production is ok. Work on the sounds of your synth its gets very repetative, also some of the samples scared the SHIT out of me like the "break" one or somthing, not sure if it was really needed. Good vocals ummm thats about it. Mostly work on getting a more pro sound out of it.

About the break sample: isn't it from the demo version of Reason :P?
Other than that, for hardcore its too trancey, in the essence that it isn't varied enough. The variations are there, they're just too subtle. Thats the essence of trance, subtle variations.
You can keep the cheese and epic edge of it, but work on bringing your energy up and down. This is very reminicent of makina, it has that edge. HOwever, the one thing that you are doing "wrong" is that your variations are too subtle. Bring your synths to a crescendo, and then also have them go low. This song is great, I love the melody.
Listen to some makina (i.e. download this mix: http://www.hardcoreforya.net/dj/download.php?id=75) and go to around 13:00 mins. Listen to the breaks, listen to the hieght the synths go to. WAY up there to WAY down low. Try experimenting with your synths, give them an extra step or so to allow for a higher synth climb. (btw the song I am talking about is an increadibly cheesy makina tuuuuune.)
^^^ above critique uses state of the industry terms like "higher synth climb." But you know what I mean ;P.
